• Abstract: We introduce a method called resolution refinement that allows one to bootstrap eigenstate preparation on a quantum computer. We first prepare an eigenstate of a low-resolution Hamiltonian using any method of choice. The eigenstate is then lifted to higher resolution and adiabatically evolved to produce the corresponding eigenstate of a higher-fidelity Hamiltonian. We give examples of resolution refinement applied to both single-particle basis states as well as a spatial lattice grid. For basis refinement, we compute few-body ground states of the Busch model for interacting particles in a harmonic trap in one dimension. For lattice refinement, we compute Hartree-Fock nuclear states for a central Woods-Saxon potential in three dimensions, and we compute bound states and continuum states in a multi-species Hubbard model of fermions in one dimension. In all cases, the method is efficient and requires an adiabatic evolution time comparable to the inverse of the energy gap in the physical spectrum.

  We generate quantum mechanically entangled states of two cavity fields, which themselves are prepared in Schrodinger cat states. The underlying atom-field interaction is considered off-resonant and three atoms are successively sent through the cavities. Entanglement properties of the obtained states are characterized by the Von Neumann entropy.

  We propose a three-step deterministic quantum routine to prepare an educated guess of the ground state of the Fermi-Hubbard model. First, the ground state of the Heisenberg model is suitable for near-term quantum hardware. Second, a general method is devised to convert a multi-spin-$frac12$ wave function into its fermionic version.

  We study the ground state overlap as a function of the number of sites for a range of quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians. For one-dimensional systems, we find that two $N/2$-site ground states also share a large overlap with the $N$-site ground state everywhere except a region near the phase boundary.
